Seems a little excessive for the bottom screen, which appears to primarily function as a touch screen, to be 4k as well.
If the point is to increase functionality by allowing more complex interaction, then there's no need for the resolution to be so high and drive up the cost of the device.
But perhaps more pertinently, who's going to be developing the full screen, 4k, touch apps required for this extra screen to be really all that useful? How much extra use is a 4k touch screen going to provide over the standard mouse and keyboard? It's nice someone is pushing the envelope, but I'm not sure this is really the solution.
I think it makes sense for it to be the same resolution as the top screen, otherwise it would make the windows shift in size as you drag them onto the lower screen.

I mean they are going to anyways because the aspect ratio is different but that is a fair point I'm not entirely certain that is the intended use of the bottom screen, though...

As long as the pixel size is the same, it won’t change sizes. It can have fewer vertical pixels, but as long as the pixels are the same physical size, it won’t change the window size.

I'm typing this on a MacBook Pro with a TouchBar, so I can see the appeal of a second screen, but this seems like a very awkward design. The trackpad is off to the right, which seems like it would be a lot harder to use than one that's below the keyboard.
I can definitely see the uses for a screen like that. I would absolutely love to have that entire screen be filled with my Premiere Pro timeline and have the whole main screen for the video viewer and effects controls. But that seems like a very limited use case that 99% of people wouldn't use.
I feel like this is going to hurt some necks, I mean we're already slanted over our laptops

right fair, I was thinking about how it will look not the physical size

It also starts at $2,500.
I really wish there was a laptop like this, but with a lower resolution, 14" display, and more midrange specs, for like ~1000$ USD.
